Baylor Community Care (BCC) is HTPN’s community medicine program which aims to improve access to care, provide more equitable care delivery, and produce improved health outcomes for underserved populations in North Texas. The BCC program consists of nine primary care clinics and innovative support programs targeting uninsured and underinsured patients, many following discharge from Baylor Health Care System hospitals. BCC utilizes a multidisciplinary team of physicians, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, social workers, and community health workers to operate the following programs:

A Chronic Disease Management program which provides education to patients with diabetes, heart failure, asthma, and COPD

A Behavioral Health program which offers counseling for patients struggling with depression and anxiety

A Pharmacy program that provides access to affordable prescription medications

A Specialty Care program which helps connect uninsured patients to specialty physicians and diagnostic testing

A Home Visit program which provides home-based primary care to home-bound patients

A Transitional Care program that navigates patients to BCC clinics following discharge from Baylor hospitals

HTPN operates BCC clinics in Dallas, Garland, Irving, Ft. Worth, Plano, and Carrollton. Four of the eight BCC clinics are operated in collaboration with other community-based non-profit organizations.
